look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

Wondering why you've seen so many "Ai Company / Mouthpiece Says We Need Cooperation To Stop Ai Destroying Humanity" stories lately? Wonder no more - Here's another one of those "Summed up something I've been struggling to articulate" articles from @doctorow.pluralistic.net.

Having Opinions about specific versions of LLMs feels a lot like Knowing Your IQ. Like, I understand that you believe it's important, but it's telling me much more about you than you think it is, and not in any kind of good way

My hope is that AI will be so culturally poisoned because of the actions of tech fascists and losers like Kevin Roose that it will be dead in the water, no matter what the capabilities are. You‘ll be a pariah for using it. And Roose will be out of a job.

When you hear a fantastical story about AI, you should ask yourself, "How does this serve the political project of AI?" Because, as others have pointed out, that's what AI really amounts to: a political project.

If you or someone in your house is not trans, the only thing you should ever think about trans kids is “How might I brighten their day should I come across one?” Beyond that, you’re a fucking weirdo who is extremely useful to nazis.

I'm fascinated by U.S. tech and business journalism because it doesn't adhere to literally any rules of actual journalism. There's no effort to actually explain objective truth; they can't even so much as hint at the fact there's funny math here and the company isn't worth anything close to this

not specifically the Pilot, but anything. Not suggesting that I had outsized influence, but maybe the outlet that published it carried weight for someone. I wondered if other reviewers consider this

kevin mccauley @capturingthemachine.com · 07/09/2026

I had the opposite thought recently. I saw a 2012-era Honda Pilot break down on the interstate, a car I had reviewed in 2012, when I had no clue what I was doing. I wondered if one of my ham-fisted car reviews from that era had convinced someone to buy a car that was bad or gave them trouble

CORSICA.BMF

A blue Chevy Corsica, a ubiquitous sedan in the early 1990s but now largely forgotten. If you ever rented a car between the years 1987 and 1995, chances are it was a Corsica. Samantha rented a Corsica, only once, at PDX. She drove the four hours to Gold Hill to see at long last the Oregon Vortex. For most people the Oregon Vortex was a cheesy roadside attraction, a place where balls roll uphill and you know it’s contrived but you’re delighted in the wonders of the illusion. For Samantha, though, the Oregon Vortex was a pilgrimage. It was proof. Proof that what she witnessed in the woods when she ran away from home those many years ago was real. How when she lay in the forest on a bed of moss, the ferns surrounding her like pinnated green curtains, she took off her ring and dropped it, and the ring fell up.
